Masked Singer winner Joss Stone shows off her baby bump after announcing shock pregnancy
MUSIC star Joss Stone has shown off her baby bump after announcing her shock pregnancy.
The singer, 37, revealed she had adopted a newborn baby boy in December, just weeks before discovering she was expecting.
In a new video, Joss can’t believe how quickly she is showing this time around as she places her hands on her growing tum.
The star, wearing a grey vest top and pink leggings, picks up eldest daughter Violet in the sweet clip.
She wrote: “I remember when I was 5 months pregnant with Violet and my stomach’s was flat as a pancake. Crazy how quickly it pops after the first one.
“Maybe our body’s just sort of know what’s up after the first round so just gets to the point quicker. It could just be all the cakes I have been eating to be fair.
“How far along do think I am ? First one to guess right gets a prize!”
There was a variety of guesses with 14, 15 and 16 weeks all put forwards by fans.
Others cheekily posted that the baby was conceived while Joss was on tour in Brazil, which tallied with the estimates above.
Just before Christmas Joss shared her surprise as she held a positive pregnancy test.
She posted a montage of selfies showing her bewildered reaction to the news, writing over the top: “The one where mummy finds out”.
Joss – who was pregnant with her first child when she won The Masked Singer as Sausage in 2021 – captioned her post: “Honestly. Shocked was an understatement.
“Nothing and no one can take our joy now. We are so chuffed !!!! Maybe we should call the ‘less is more tour the preggo tour.”
The star, who is already a mother to her three-year-old daughter Violet, and son Shackleton, two, recently adopted baby son Bear with husband Cody DaLuz.
Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with messages of congratulations for the singer.
Singer Beverley Knight penned beneath her post: “Fantastic! Happy for you honey!!!”
And one fan said: “JOSS!!! OMG! How exciting!!! I’m so happy for you!! I’ll wish to the highest heavens that all goes in the best possible way!”
Another joked: “OH MY GOD!!! Congratulations, Joss!! My wishes for a healthy and peaceful pregnancy! Talk about full house, huh?”
The Right To be Wrong songstress welcomed little Bear to her family in early December.
Jazz singer Joss posted an emotional video and wrote over the top: “If you know us, you know we have been trying to adopt for a little while now.”
The scenes then showed her on the phone to a lady at the adoption agency, who told her she could pick up her baby the next day.
The couple broke the news to Violet and Shackleton before heading off to collect their child.
How does adoption work?
In the UK, there is lengthy process involved with adopting a child and it can take up to six months for the paperwork to be finalised.
To even be considered, you have to meet the following criteria:
- You must be over 21
- You must be a legal resident of the UK for at least 12 months.
- No criminal convictions – especially any related to the endangerment of children. This applies to everyone your household.
You will also have to go through an inital background check and assesment, which will consider whether you are the right fit for adoption.
Potenital parents will also have undergo training and a process to match them with the right child.
